I used one of the double-sided sheets of the Black Out paper to die-cut some flowers using one of my very early Marianne Designs dies purchases and also used one of Sue Wilson's Finishing Touches greenery dies.

I have finished the card off with a doily, lace, satin ribbon, sentiment strip cut from a backing paper which I think was from a magazine and some lovely gems.
